He was silent for the entire 8 hour trip. He was my girl friend’s boyfriend’s best friend (do you follow?). But my friend and her boyfriend were very trustworthy good people, so I didn’t worry—much. So, what’s the punch line?

He’s now my husband of 12 years!!! LOL

P.S. The long hair and full beard were abandoned long ago. And the “kinda creepy” was EXTREME introversion and jitters around girls. We were 19 when we met. So funny to remember that!!!
